Setka and Zapier

How to set up Setka Cloud API and Zapier integration.

You can export posts from your Setka Account via Setka Content Cloud API. Setka Zapier integration uses this API to automatically export posts to other services and CMS.

This is how you can set automatic posts export to any CMS with Zapier integration, like Shopify, Ghost, Webflow, etc.

Zapier integration requires access to the Setka Content Cloud API. Contact our customer support to get access.

To integrate Setka with other services via Zapier, create Zap with Setka as a trigger:

Step 1. Add the Setka Post API integration

Zapier connects with Setka via webhooks or by checking the updates in some periods of time. To make the Zapier integration possible, go to the Setka account and proceed to Integrations > Integrate Setka Posts > Other CMS.

The Post API integration will be added. You will see your license key and the ability to add webhooks. This integration will be used in step 4.

Step 2. Create a new Zap

1. Open your Zapier account and click Make a Zap in a left-hand corner:

2. Find Setka in the list of available apps and set it as a trigger:

Step 3. Choose a trigger event

Find New post in a Trigger Event list and click Continue. This script will work once you publish a new post in your Setka account.

Available trigger events

The zap can be triggered in 3 ways:

New Post (Pooling)

Polls Setka account for new posts every few minutes. The period depends on your Zapier plan.

New Post (REST Hook)

Triggers instantly, if a new post is published on your Setka account.

Update Post

Triggers instantly, if some published post from your Setka account is updated.

Step 4. Connect Setka account

If you have already connected your account, skip the connection steps. Just select the account from Choose the account... dropdown list, as described further.

Click Sign in to Setka and enter your license key in the appeared window:

The license key can be found on the Integration via Post API block of the Integrations section in your Setka account:

Choose the added account from the appeared list and click Continue to go to the next step.

Step 5. Set up a trigger

Skip this step, if the New Post (REST Hook) or the Update Post trigger event was selected.

Select the event that will trigger the script:

Published — launches if a new post is published.
Draft — launches if post's state is changed to draft.

Step 6. Test the trigger

Depending on the chosen trigger event, try to publish or update a post in your Setka account.

Publishing

To publish the post, click the Publish button either on the post's badge in the Posts section of the Setka account

or in the editor itself:

Updating

In prior to updating the post, publish it, make some changes and save them by clicking the Save draft button.

Then, to update the post, click the Republish button on the post editor page:

Step 7. Add an action for the trigger

Now you can export any post's data to other services integrated with Zapier. To do that, choose any service from the list and set any action needed. You can find full instruction in the Zapier help center.

What Setka data you can export to Zapier?
